| Motorola announces open, modular smartphone platform Led by Motorola's Advanced Technology and Projects group, Project Ara is developing a free, open hardware platform for creating highly modular smartphones. We want to do for hardware what the Android platform has done for software: create a vibrant third-party developer ecosystem, lower the barriers to entry, increase the pace of innovation, and substantially compress development timelines. [...] The design for Project Ara consists of what we call an endoskeleton (endo) and modules. The endo is the structural frame that holds all the modules in place. A module can be anything, from a new application processor to a new display or keyboard, an extra battery, a pulse oximeter - or something not yet thought of! This could be the biggest innovation in smartphones since, well, the first smartphones appeared on the market. I am incredibly excited about this. http://osnews.com/story/27398/Motoro...one_platfor m |
